Decoding Process: bWVtb3JhbmR1bQ== to memorandum

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bWVtb3JhbmR1bQ==" is padding. Base64 encoding requires the input length to be divisible by 4. When it's not, '=' characters are added as padding. These padding characters are represented as '000000' in binary but are not used in the final decoded output.

Step 1: Map Base64 Characters to Binary

Base64 Character	Binary Value	Decimal Value
b	011011	27
W	010110	22
V	010101	21
t	101101	45
b	011011	27
3	110111	55
J	001001	9
h	100001	33
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
R	010001	17
1	110101	53
b	011011	27
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

The binary string is grouped into 8-bit chunks (1 byte each):

01101101 01100101 01101101 01101111 01110010 01100001 01101110 01100100 01110101 01101101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101101	m
01100101	e
01101101	m
01101111	o
01110010	r
01100001	a
01101110	n
01100100	d
01110101	u
01101101	m
0000

When combined, these characters form the decoded string: "memorandum"
